"Free Accessible Textbooks for students with ASD, dyslexia, ADHD & Visual Impairments"
If any of your students have ASD, dyslexia, ADHD, partial sight or blindness then these short webinars are for you! Print textbooks prevent many SEN learners from successfully accessing the curriculum. Imagine if you could offer your disabled learners access to electronic copies of their textbooks? And an app that lets them change the books' fonts, sizes, colours? Even better the app could read the book aloud to them?
These webinars will show how you can do exactly all that - and it's all FREE to education!
Reviews
"Perfectly accessible and ridiculously easy to use – it is the difference between me bothering to read a book and not reading one at all."
Stacey Rowe, RNIB Bookshare
"Finally an app that has the benefits of a music player, but is designed for audio books!!"
Christian Olsson Silvervidh
Case Study
"The scope for EasyReader is really impressive. It’s making our children so much more independent.
I have one particularly bright boy in year 4, who’s a good example. Now he is reading for pleasure.
EasyReader and RNIB Bookshare has opened up a whole range of books to him."
Simon Ward, Qualified Teacher of the Visually Impaired
